One of Those Real Estate Stories.

In real estate Office the other day
| heard a gentleman relating the ex-
perience of an eastern friend of his
who many years ago, for bad debt
Of $40, 900, was compelled TO accept
Western land Of the estimated value
Of $4,000. He paid constantly in
creasing taxes upon the land for a
number Of years without going to see
it. One day his agent telegraphed
him, asking what he would take for
the land, which had finally come to
be far within the corporate limits of
Chicago. The owner figured that,
taxes and interest, the land had cost
him 100000, and more in a joke than
anything else, not dreaming that the
offer would be accepted, wrote tele.
gram saying that he would take $780,
900 cash for the property. He sent
the message by his office boy to the
telegraph Office, where the clerk insist
ed that the sum be spelled out in the
message. The office boy rewrote it,
and by mistake wrote 100000 in
stead of $4,000
In an hour came back the reply,
"Offer of half million dollars ac-
cepted. Make deed and come on and
get certified check" The man made
the Office boy handsome present for
his clerical error, and gave his old
time debtor $25, 900 with which to re.
establish himself in business.-St.

TESTING A BRIDGE,

The other day a new bridge. built by
the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg
road, was tested in this way, as described
by an exchange: "The test consisted of
placing three engines of eighty-one tons
each and two cars loaded with stone,
each weighing thirty tons, on the bridge.
The whole weight was first allowed to
rest on respective spans, and afterwards
run across at speed of about sixteen
miles an hour The DETECTION of the geo
feet span over the main channel of the
river under the quiescent load was
half an inch, and under the
moving train five-eighths of an
inch. The reflections of the smaller
spans were scarcely noticeable. The
loads put on the various spans We're
much greater than will ever be applied
by ordinary trains. The way in which
the DETECTION was observed was by at
taching a light wire TO an immovable
weight in the river. and having a man
stand above and on the span and hold
the wire taut and close to some fixed
point on the bridge. When train is put
on the bridge it descends. and the
amount of the descent is marked on the
wire which has been held up by the per-
son on the bridge"

MURRAY LAW NEEDED.

In denying the silly twaddle of the
sucker we cannot entirely consent to the
conclusions of our neighbor. With fifty
thousand dollars or One-tenth of the
royal old pile the editor of the EAGLE
could, he confidently thinks, keep up a

With such sum in ready cash we could

commission.

The Topeka Capital the other day filed
its funny column up with the humorous
statement that Topeka was as great a
city as Wichita. The subsidiary declara-
tons were unequivocal, conspicuous only
for the absence of everything like statis-
tics. These two cities held elections last
Thursday with exactly the same interests
involved. What we want to call atten-
ton to is that there seemed but little in
terest in the fight at Wichita. while To-
peka blazed with patriotism. But there
seems to have been some mistake made
by the returning boards. Topeka, the
big town, cast about seventeen hundred
votes, while Wichita, voting less than
two-thirds of her registration, rolled up
little rising of forty-four hundred ballots.
Attention is not called to this with any
expectation that anybody will be con-
WINGED, or anything. but in the hope that
our contemporary may change the char

The New York Times, speaking of the
decision in the case of the anarchists.
says that none of the time spent by the
courts in this case, including the time
spent in the hopeless appeal, has been
wasted. 1t has served to point the CON
trast between the calm deliberation of
law and the reckless haste of anarchy.
There is no hope left for the condemned
men except from the clemency of the
governor of Illinois, Three of them
have expressly refused to sue for that
clemency upon the ground that they
have committed no crime.
